Shakespeare's Freedom Greenblatt StephenPaperback
Shakespeare lived in a world of absolutes--of claims for the absolute authority of scripture, monarch, and God, and the authority of fathers over wives and children, the old over the young, and the gentle over the baseborn. Again and again, Shakespeare confounds the designs and pretensions of kings, generals, and churchmen. With the elegance and verve for which he is well known, Stephen Greenblatt, author of the best-selling Will in the World, shows that Shakespeare was strikingly averse to such absolutes and constantly probed the possibility of freedom from them.
He first considers the idea of beauty in Shakespeare's works, specifically His aversion to absolutes even leads him to probe the exalted and seemingly limitless passions of his lovers.Greenblatt explores this rich theme by addressing four of Shakespeare's preoccupations across all the genres in which he worked.
